THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1864. Boner was accordingly IR nt for trial by district court-martial. The prisoner, on finding that he was not to be tried by a general court-martial, became exceedingly violent, his ob ject being to be dismissed from the service. On being Placed before the court his conduct and actions were out rageous. The guard who had him itt charge were over powered, and his conduct and language were so violent that the trial had to be postponed and the court adjourned. In the meantime the accused tore up nearly all his clothing, and, on being again placed before the court to undergo his trial, was only partially dressed. Although he was hand cuffed and in the custody of a strong guard, he was as violent as on the former occasion of his being before the court, and it was only by tying his legs together and laying him on the ground, with a guard over him, that his trial could be proceeded with, the regulations requiring the prisoner to be present. Throughout his trial he assailed the various members of the court with the foulest abuse. The charge against the prisoner was fully proved, and the court sentenced him td receive 50 lashes and to undergo 336 days' imprisonment in the military prison, Fort Clarence, Rochester. On the sentence being forwarded for approval to Major-Gen. Eyre, the 60 lashes ordered by the Court were remitted, the punishment of the lash being rarely or never inflicted at Chatham. The major-general ordered an additional term of imprisonment in lien of the flogging. After the sentence had been read the prisoner was handed over to a strong escort and conveyed to the military prison. At the expiration of his imprisonment he will undergo a second trial for his conduct before the court-martial. Major Milward, for the past five years brigade major of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, yesterday assumed the duties of Assistant-Director of Ordnance, at the War De partment, Pall-mall, to which he was ncently appointed in succession to Major Freeth, ordered to rejoin his battery. Major Milward was yesterday succeeded at Woolwich by Major Hay, Royal Horse Artillery, as brigade major. Another_ of_the huge_Blakelymel guns arrived at Woolwich yesterday for the purpose Ofilnaiilornk Vie ro: quisite proof test, which will probably take place to-day. One of the guns, which was proved last week previously to its being shipped for the Russian Government, cracked one of its outer hoops at the back of the trunnions, as stated in The Sun, and on the following day, by desire of Captain Blakely, the charge was increased to 501 b of powder, and the usual cylinder, viz:, one of 3 cwt and 1 qr. Notwith standing the increased charge of blb of powder and the in jury to the hoop, the proof was perfectly satisfactory. The 9-inch bore is surrounded by four tubes of cast-steel, each nearly four inches thick, and appears capable of resisting any amount of shock. The successful proof, after an outer tube had split, shows that three of these tubes suffice to re sist the explosive force of any requisite charge. Great doubts are apressed, however, whether these guns, strong as they doubtless are, can resist the con cussion of gun-cotton, with which it is stated they are intended to be charged. Orders hare been given by the War Department for the supply of in 800- pounder gun to be manufactured by Capt. Blakey, to be fired at the Royal Arsenal butt with an increased charge, and to be proved "to destruction." The experinent is looked forward to with much interest. Yesterday the examination of candidates for dirtct com missions, before the Vice-President and memberi of the Council of Military Education, took place at dB Itoyal Hospital, Chelsea, Nearly 150 candidates attendel, The examination will occupy the entire week. (From the Church and Slate Review.) A man suffering from influenza would be subject to elon gated uvula. Removed the heart before the brain was examined. Did not consider that his doing so would cause the blood to flow from the vessels of the head to the ether parts of the body. There was no serum or blood under the scalp. The skull was healthy. There was no fluid of any kind between the skull and the dura mater. Did not notice whether there was any diploe. Could not tell whether the inner apertures of the ear were closed. Had expected to find some fluid in the arachnoid, but found none. It did not occur to him that removing the heart first would pre vent his finding fluid in the arachnoid. The colour of the arachnoid was dirty brown. Treating the case as one of chronic hydrocephalus, they expected to find fluid in the ventricles of the brain, and they found it accordingly; there was about a pint. The quantity of blood in the ventricles of an ordinary brain would be about a teaspoonful. The pia mater was natural. There was no fatty degeneration ; no calcification, or calcareous deposits. Did not examine it with the microscope. Could not say how low down the spinal cord was cut, nor whether it was cut below the medulla oblongata or not. Did not test the specific gravity of the brain ; it did not soften rapidly on exposure to the atmosphere ; it was as healthy a brain as he ever saw in his life. There were no tumours on th 3 spine externally. When they removed the stomach they placed it in a dish in the window, while they proceeded to take out the entrails. The lungs were a little more purple in colour than usual— a sign of congestion. Never saw a healthier stomach or entrails. Re-examined by Mr. Roscorla—Neither the prosecutor nor any one else interfered with the examination nor with the contents of the stomach. Did not think that the results of poisoning by aconite would be discernable three weeks after death. At this stage the case was adjourned to Wednesday. The case has caused the greatest excitement throughout the country. Noble Tribute lericoffiull6;- Lacordaire is a name which already, little more than two years after his death, has taken a distinct and well ascertained place in the history of our times. His character, as a whole, may be said to be almost beyond the province of criticism, so fully has it been understood and accepted by the public at large. The ardent and confiding disciple of the then dubious and afterwards heretical and sceptical La Mennais, the eloquent and impassioned preacher, who excited serious misgivings on his own account in the minds of many of his older contemporaries, has passed beyond these doubts. The words which he spoke from the pulpit, and those which he wrote to the young men who came to him for counsel andguidance, are now being collected with pious care, and are not only treasured up by the young hearts which he kindled by his personal in fluence, but are sent forth with the warm encomia of the most eminent prelates of the French Church. The Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, the able and acc9mplished Dapanloup, Bishop of Orleans, and other bishops worthy to bear them company, have addressed to the Abbe Perreyve, the editor of a volume of his letters, the strongest commendation of the publication, which has already reached a fourth edition. We accept the public estimate of his great in. tellectnal, moral, and spiritual worth. We agree with his friend, M. de Montalembert, that, after Bossuet, he was the greatest preacher that ever adorned the French pulpit. We admit, as a matter beyond dispute, that his aims and efforts were singularly pure, lofty, and disinterested. Tho foundation of the character and influence of L the source of his power as writer, teacher, preacher, guide, lay in the depth and reality principles. Even in the school ac o r d i re, of his religious which demands that t,l ,e gateway to all genuine : piety shall be the crisis of a es nseious conversion, _. the spirituality of Lacordaire must Hiss ungues. tioned. There is no reason to suppose that Lacordaire ttn: ticipated the brilliant career which lay before him. Although he had shown great powers of oratory in defending himself, it seemed doubtful at first whether he would ever prove a great preacher. The sermon which he preached at the Seminary, in 1827, before he was ordained priest, was pronounced by the Superior to be one half nonsensical, the other half unintelligible, and the whole ridiculous. His first public sermon was at St. Roch, in 1833, the very same church in which he preached for the last time in Paris. He failed completely ; and his own friends felt that his talents must be employed in some other way. He was not unconscious of his failure, but he at once decided that his powers of speaking, of the existence of which he had before given such convincing proof, must be directed to some special work which would be adapted to his peculiar genius. Such a work soon presented itself. He was invited to give aseries of Conferences to the pupils of the College Stanislas, after the second of which the chapel could not contain the crowds which flocked to hear him. Even in these first attempts the distinctive characters of the orator of Notre Dame are said to have been visible—" the striking originality, the penetrating heartfelt passion, the impetuosity of speech and thought, the tenderness, the irony." A sentence is quoted which contains a thought which was often reproduced by him in his later Conferences : " Dieu vous a donne de ?esprit, messieurs, beacoup d'esprit, pour vous montrer qu'il n'a pas peur de l'espiit des hommes." The difference between him and his former friend La Mennais was brought out by the Archbishop of Paris interdicting these Conferences. Without a murmur he submitted to the imposed silence. " Obe dience costs something," he wrote to M. de Mon talembert ; but I have learnt by experience that it is, sooner or later, rewarded, and that God alone knows what is suited to us." And again—" Light comes to him who submits, as to a man who opens his eyes." This was at the end of 1834. He had not long to wait for his reward. In 1835 he had all Paris crowding to listen to his words in the vast church of Notre Dame. In some inex plicable manner Mgr. Quelen, the same who had put a stop to his preaching at the College Stanislas, invited him to occupy the pulpit of the Cathedral Church. His success exceeded all that his most sanguine friends had anticipated. The Archbishop on one occasion stood up in the archi episcopal throne, and before the immense auditory pronounced the young preacher—he was still but thirty-three—to be a "new prophet." For two years he continued to deliver those famous Con ferences "on the Church" which are contained in the second volume of his published works. Noto riety, popularity, glory, if these had been all he wanted, he had them in abundance, enough to satisfy or even to intoxicate. Bat these were not the object for which he lived. The closing words of his last Conference told that he felt the necessity of withdrawing for a season from the brilliant posi tion to which he had attained—that he needed re tirement, solitude, and silence. "Un moment ce double suffrage (du pasteur et du peuple) a brine sur ma t Ate ; souffrez que je l'eoarte de moi-m6me, et que je ma retrouve seul quelque temps devant ma faiblesse et devant Dien." _ _ In all his intercourse with his friends and fellow men, even in his Conferences, and more especially in his letters, we find proof of the accuracy of the judgment of M. de Montalembert, who says that to him he seemed to realise his own ideal of the priest, such as he had himself defined him : " Strong as a diamond and more tender than a mother." Of his personal character, further than it has been brought out in our previous remarks, we have left ourselves little room to speak. We see no reason to doubt the reality of his humility or the purity of his motives. He considered himself to be unam bitious, and he has left a history which forbids the most censorious to contradict him. On this point, however, we must refer our readers to the seventh chapter of M. de Montalembert's brilliant memoir. It may be had in French or in English, and few will regret the time dedicated to its perusal. The remaining space at our disposal must be given to a few remarks on his characteristics as a preacher. In this point of view, we have already said that he is one of the foremost of all those whom the French Church has produced. For this place ho is indebted The Case of Alleged Poisoning in Cornwall, The examination into the charge against Richard Oke Millett, of Penpol, near Hayle, of poisoning his brother, J. C. Millett, was resumed at the White Hart Hctel, Hayle, on Saturday last. The first witness examined was Henry Bedilla, formerly .. a servant at Penpol. He went to the house about 9 o'clock on the evening in question. He saw Miss Davy and William Bryant taking tea in the kitchen. The servant, Jane Teague, called his attention to the snoring of de ceased, which he could hear at the bottom of the stairs. The next morning, about 9 o'clock, he saw the copse. Honor Johns, who had been a servant at Penpol for 10 years, but had left some years ago, said she used to attend upon deceased, whose sight was very defective. She saw him last August at Hayle, and had a conversation with him, during which he twice told her that he had made ne will. When he did make a will he should remember his brother William, his niece Ellen, William Oliver (an old servant), and all those who had been kind to himself and his mcther. In cross• examination she said she remembered the late Miss Kitty Davy, sister of Sir Humphry Davy, being at Penpol, but she knew nothing of the present Miss Davy. Mr. John Stephens, who farms the estate of Penpol, said he saw the deceased nearly every day in the fields, and saw him the day prior to his death. He knew he had been suf fering from a cold about three weeks prior to his death, but deceased told him he was gettiftif better. In cross. examination he said he had seen deceased put his hand to his forehead and rub it, but never saw his legs or feet twitch, i James Williams said that in February last he was asked by the prisoner to come to Penpo',.as the deceased was about to make a will, and wished him so be one of the witnesses. He went accordingly, and found the deceased and the pri soner there, as also Wm. Mitchell, the carpenter. A docu ment was brought into the room by deceased and the pri soner—it was signed by deceased, witness, and W. Mitchell. Before it was signed the deceased read it. After deceased had signed he put his finger on she seal and said, " This is my last will." Philip Vincent said he was a surgeon, residing in Cam borne. On Wednesday, the 20ti January, he made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased after it had been exhumed. Dr. Montgomery, of Penzance, assisted. They examined the body very carefully, The stomach, in testines, and, in fact, all the contents of the abdomen were per f ec tly healthy. The kidneys were algo healthy. The lungs were a little more purple on the surface than is usually the case, but were otherwise healthy. There was a little clot of blood in the heart—the valves were quite healthy. The membranes of the brain ware natural. On lifting the lobes of the brain about a pint of fluid escaped. The brain w as next examined, and they fou n d th a t the deceased had su ffered from congenital hydr ocep h a l us —th e ventricles we re enormously enlarged--the substance of the brain was healthy, as was the windpipe and liver. There was about a pint of fluid in the stomach, and a small quantity on the cheek which had oozed from the mouth. There was also a small quantity in the bladder, but the bladder was healthy. The fluid in the brain came from the ventricles, and he should say it would not cause death. If de ceased had suffered from influenza and had had a harassing cough for a fortnight or three reeks, he should have ex pected to find the thorax inflamed, but there was nothing more than natural. The water, of course, must press more or less on the brain, but it would not affect its healthiness. ventricles might produce headache. The symptoms of deceased as detailed b y t h e var i ous witnesses W we a re ter no nothing from the appearance of th e b o d y t o a ccount for with effusion on the brain. Could find death, Did not know o f any natural di sease which would produce the symptoms referred to; some o f th em resembled gastritis. Could not s a y whether de cease d did or did not in t consistent the die from natural causes. According to Dr. Taylor's works, some of the symptoms resembled a ease of poisoning. If witness had been called in to the patient he should have given brandy as was done. By the Bench—lf deceased had taken mineral poison alcohol would not affect it much, but it would act as a sol vent upon vegetable poison, and thus cause it to be more readily taken up by the stomach. If he had suspected poison he should have used the stomach-pump. Had he supposed there was effusion on the brain he might have applied leeches to the head. Cross-examined by Mr. Downing for upwards of four hours. The), following is the gist of the examination :—The room in which the poet mortem examination took place was small. There Were several persons present, among whom were the prosecutor, Mr. Fred. Edmond s, --. surgeon ; Mr. Roscorla, prosecutor's attorney; and Mr. Cornish 9 the magistrate's clerk. Did not take notes of the examination of the body at first, because it appeared so healthy, and he did not think it necessary, but took notes of the appearance of the brain, windpipe, and stomach. Saw Mr. Edmonds writing something during the examination. Neither the body nor the tissues were decomposed ; they were, on the contrary, very fresh indeed. Did not notice any contraction of the limbs, nor any especial rigidity about the head or neck. The hands were not clinched. Did not notice whether the thumbs were turned inwards or not. The toes were not contracted. No fulness of feature. Everything quite natural. The body was fat and appeared to be re markably well nourished. Na looseness about the integu • ments. Eyeballs not sunk. Skin was white, except on the back, where there had been pressure. No looseness about the cuticle; it was not detached from the skin; it was dry. There were no external masks. The body was very little swollen. The fat was about a quarter of an inch thick. It was the fattest body he ever saw; the colour of the fat was yellowish white, Muscles firm, red, and very iresh. The bones were very firm and not diseased. There was no swell ing of the eyelids, but there was a little discolouration. The pupils of both eyes were semi-contracted ; there was no pre sence of the arcus senilis; no discharge of matter from the ears. The fluid that was discharged from the mouth was the same as that found in the stomach. Ha shaved the fluid off along with the whiskers, and placed it in a paper to be sent to Dr. Taylor. Could not say whether the paper was furnished by the prosecutor; wrapped it up and laid it on the table while he went on with the other operations. For all he knew, it was the same as was afterwards sent to Dr. Taylor, There was no rigidity about the jaws ; they were just what might be expected in a corpse which had died from natu ral disease. The mucus membraneof the mouth was healthy. IThe tongue did not show the slightest sign of poison. Did not look at the uvula; an enlarged uvula would cause a cough, which would last as long as the uvula was olougatod! WHERE CAN WE MEET AFTER THE PANTOMIMES ?

The Examiners appointed by the trustees of the Mathe matical Scholarships have given notice that an examination will be holden in the schools on Monday, the 22d inst., and the following days, at 9 30 a.m., for the purpose of electing one senior and one junior scholar. Gentlemen who desire to offer themselves as candidates are requested to call, with certificates of their standing, the consent of the head or vicegerent of their College or Hall, and (for the Senior Scholarship) of having passed the examination for the degree of BA., in case they have not taken that de gree, on Mr. Harrison, in Oriel College, on Friday, the 19th inst., between the hours of 1 and 3 p.m., The Junior Scholarship is open to all members of the University who have not exceeded nine terms from their matriculation in clusively. The Senior Scholarship is open to all Bachelors of Arts, or those who have at least passed the public exami nations necessary for that degree, and who have not ex ceeded the 26th term from their matriculation inclusively, The Examiners for the Hertford Scholarship have given notice that the examination will be held in the schools on Monday, Feb. 15, and the following days, beginning at 10 o'dOck.` The Scholarship is open to all members of "the University who have not exceeded 2 yeaas from their matri culation. Candidates are required to call on the Rev. E. C, Wickham, at New College, with their matriculation paper, and a written permission from the head or vicegerent of their College or Hall, on Friday, Feb. 12, between 12 and 1. The University Calendar for 1864 has been this day pub lished. From the summary with which it concludes we learn that the present number of members of Convocation is 3,891, and of members on the books 6,754. In the year just ended the number of matriculations was 452, of M.A. degrees 222, and of B.A. degrees 284. Compared with the numbers of the preceding calendar, there is an increase in every respect but the last. The members of Convocation have increased by 61, the members on the books by 149, the matriculations by 19, the M.A. degrees by the same num ber. The B.A. degrees, on the other hand, have decreased by 22, the number in 1862 having been 306. If we take a term of five years we find that the number of members of Convocation has risen from 3,659 to 3,891—an increase of above 6 per cent. ; that the number of members on the books has risen from 6,204 to 6,754, an increase of nearly 9 per cent. ; and that the number of matriculations has risen from 399 to 452, an increase of 13 per cent.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The first portion of the armour plates for the new iron frigate Bellerophon have been sent into Chatham dockyard from the Millwall works, selected by the Admiralty to sup ply the plates for that vessel. The plates are of the best pos sible rolled iron, and each weighs between six and seven tons. They are IGft in length and rather more than 4ft wide, while those received up till now are Gin thick. Yesterday one of the plates was selected from those sent in, and will be forwarded to Portsmouth, where it will undergo a series of trials to ascertain its powers of resistance when tested against the spherical steel and other shot. About 150 tons of the 41in and 51in armour plating for the Lord Warden frigate have arrived at Chatham, and have been landed at the Anchor-wharf, from the firm of Messrs, J. Brown and Co., Atlas Works, Sheffield, who have contracted to supply the Admiralty with 1,000 tons of armour plates for the Lord Warden. The paddlewheel steamer Adder, Mr. W. Blakey, Master Commander, tender to the Wellesley, 74, and now employed in transporting the officials and workmen to and from Chat ham dockyard to the iron frigate Achilles, will, as soon as released from her present duties, be placed in dock and broken up, her condition being such that it is not deemed advisable to effect any extensive repairs on her. The Lo cust, now employed on harbour service between Chatham and Sheerness, will succeed the Adder as tender to the 'Wel- lesley. The Amphion, 26, 1,474 tons, 300 horse power, screw steamer, the name of which has been removed from the list of vessels of the Royal Navy, is to be sold out of the ser vice, and orders have been received at Chatham for a report to be made to the Admiralty of the quantity and condi tion of her stores and gear. Every precaution will be taken to prevent the Amphion, as well as the other vessels heretofore belonging to the Chatham steam reserve which are ordered to be sold, falling into the hands of per sons who might use them in committing an infraction of the neutrality laws. The Duncan, screw line-of-battle ship, 3,727 tons and 800-horse power, Capt. IL Gibson, flagship of Rear-Ad miral Sir James Hope, K.C.8., the future Naval Com mander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships on the North American and West India stations, steamed out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday, and anchored at Spithead, where she will take in her ammunition preparatory to sailing for Halifax. On clearing the harbour channel she exchanged the usual salutes with the Victory, flagship of Vice- Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C,8., Port Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the district. The Duncan is ex pected to sail about the end of the week, and will call in at Plymouth Sound. Orders have been received at Portsmouth dockyard from the Admiralty to suspend all further work upon the Royal paddle yacht Alberta until after a third trial of her powers under steam. The trial will take place at the measured mile in Stokes Bay about Thursday next, The Helicon, designed for a paddlewheel despatch vessel of 835 tons, which has been standing in frame for nearly two years on No. 1 building slip of Portsmouth dockyard, has been taken down from her midship section forward, the Admiralty, acting under the advice of the Chief Construc tor, having decided upon giving her a somewhat flatter floor, with a different form of bow. The latter will be lengthened 6ft., and will have au upright stem, The Helicon was laid down originally on similar lines to those of the Admiralty yacht Enchantress. The Orontes, screw troopship, Capt.H. W. Hire, got up steam yesterday alongside Portsmouth dockyard preparatory to her official trial on the sth or 6th inst. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—T. F. Simmons, chief engineer, to the Fisgard for the Gorgon ; J. Dearden, enghieer, to the Duncan for service in the Nimble tender; IL Leslie, engineer, to tho Asia for the Pheasant ; R. H. Dobney and J. H. Brad shaw, assist.-engineers, to the Duncan, additional, for service in the Nimble tender; and Mr. Henry Leach, nominated to a naval cadetship.' THE ARMY. The Field-Marshal Co mmanding-in -Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Saturday next. Yesterday the whole of the officers and men composing the Chatham division of Royal Marines Light Infantry were drawn up in the barrack -square, in front of their quarters, for the purpose of hearing promulgated the finding and sentence of a district court-martial, which assembled a few days previously for the trial of Private John Wood, Royal Marines, on the serious charge of striking his superior doing duty at Melvill e o li ffi o c s e p r ila A i, s w si h st ii - e S t u i r te g p . J ri . so l n V e . r L w e a a s chy, confined at that establish• - men t. It had been originally intended to try the accused by general court-martial, and an application to that effect was made to the Lords of the Admiralty, the crime of which he had been guilty rendering him liable to a lengthened period of penal servitude. The Lords of the Admiralt,y,how tivvr, refused to order a general eourt , ruartial, and the pri• PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. I to nanny qualities of mind and heart. His very up rearance and manner must have conduced greatly to the impression which he produced. No one can look upon the soft, bright face which is preserved in his portrait without feel ing that it is animated and irradiated by a soul which must find its way to the hearts of others. The clear bright eye, the fine features, the intelli gence which reigns over the whole, above all, the sweetness of expression, present altogether an in fluence which is well-nigh irresistible. If we add to this a mellifluous flaw of language, it will be apparent that he possessed ail the physical qualities which go to make a first•rate orator. But it was not entirely, or perhaps chiefly, from these that he derived his influence. The foundation of his power must be sought in the reality and depth of his religious convictions, in the affection which he cherished for his fellow-men, in his earnest love of souls, which appears perhaps more strikingly in his letters than in Es Conferences, which were mainly of a controversial character, in his tender love for Jesus Christ, a love which amounted to a passion. His Conference on Jesus Christ, delivered in 1546, are considered by many the most marvel lous fruits of his eloquence. (esurres, tom. 3.) " Faith and love," he once said, " have no need of genius : they speak and all the world recognises them." That he possessed faith and love those who knew him never doubted : that he added to these the natural gift of genius, his works still testify. Without doubt also his custom of impro visation, extempore preaching in the strict sense of the word, had much to do with his successes. He prepared his discourses rapldly, but with in tense application at the time; but he did not write them. M. Montalembert, who gives us this infor malion, states that the conferences, which were taken down in shorthand and published the same week in the form in which we now possess them, received very few corrections from his hand. The faults of his oratory were such as resulted from his literary tastes and his historical informa tion. His historical illustrations are mostly drawn from Cornelius Nepos and the " De Viris," and from the classical authors that he committed to memory in his youth. Mediaeval history he had not suffi ciently studied. Brutus and Socrates, Epaminundas and Scipio seem to have done the same duty in his sermons as Hannibal in the essays of our own public school-boys. Montalembert farther re marks that he was given to common-places. In his striking sermon on " Humility," he makes use of the expression sa often quoted: " Par la grace de Dieu j'ai honneur du lien commun," and his friend says that he never more deceived himself than in thinking so. But his faults were few compared with his excellencies, and it is impossible to study ' his published discourses without feeling that we are in contact wiih a master. Above all, the felt power of his preaching and the influence which it actually produced on his audience, were great and lasting beyond those of any living preacher. Those whose knowledge of Lacordaire is gained frombooks are every day receiving fresh accessions to their store) and his life as a priest and a monk is promised by a brother Dominican, Father Chocame. All such contributions to the religious history of the times will be most valueable. " Two generations of this century," says the Abbe Perreyve, " have known him, and have listened to the incomparable majesty of his word. Many men have approached him as priest ; several have received from his lips the name of friend ; some have been to him what a son is to a father, and will long feel in their hearts the shock of his premature death. Such and many besides who have received a healthful impulse from his writings will welcome all trustworthy additions to tht : history of his life, works, and character. In . he me ,:itime, M. de Montalembert deserves the thanks of ev ry student of contemporaneous Church .2 history, not to se) every Christian, for a memoir not only remarkable for its literary excellence, but equally so as the offer of pious affection and gratitude. THE SCREW STEAMER REGINA, OFFICIAL REPORT. The Regina is a schooner-rigged screw steamer, of 497-49 tons register, and 90 combined (estimated) horse power. She is employed chiefly in trade to the Mediterranean, from whence she was on her return voyage to London, with a cargo of fruit, when she met With the damage which was the sub ject of this inquiry. She arrived off Guernsey on the morning of the 15th of last December, and running up Channel, with a westerly wind and moderate weather, about 10 p.m. made the light on Dungeness, bearing E.N.E. Her proceedings after this till she got ashore about 2 15 a.m. of the 16th to the westward of Dungeness Light, are detailed in logbook, of which the following is an extract, namely :—" Midnight, arrived off Dungeness, distant two miles. Put a light over the bows for a pilot, and fired six blue lights at inter,. vals. Hauled in towards the East Bay, seeing no pilot cutter. At 1 a,m., Dungeness Light bearing W.N.W., ported helm and-put ship's head to the W.S.W., ship going quarter speed. At 120 Dungeness Light bore N.W., sky overcast and , night extremely dark. At 1 35, abreast of Dunge ness Light, dropped the lead in eight fathoms water, and starboarded the helm to veer the ship round to the eastward, intending again to seek for a pilot, when in the act of doing so saw two ves sels running up close aboard of us, showing red lights. Ported our helm to clear them, and, when sufficiently clear, hard a starboard, and in the act of corning round felt our vessel touch the ground, but saw no land, when suddenly a man on the beach appeared close to the ship, with a light, who told us it was about high water. The light of Dungeness then bore E. by N. 7 3 ,- N., but so intensely bright was the light that nothing could be seen around the ship, and we appeared full two miles off it. At daylight our est;:nated dis tance from the lighthouse was about three. quarters of a mile." The ship remained on the beaoil s till the 9th of January, when, her cargo being unshipped, she was brought to London, and put into dock, where she was found to have sustained material damage. The above entry in the log-book is stated by the master and chief officer to be correct, with the exception (as the master states) of the sounding, which, he says, ought to have been 17 and not 8 fathoms. The latter sounding of 8 fathoms is, no doubt, correct, if we may judge from the short time that elapsed before the ship took the ground, as de scribed in the log, three-quarters of a mile fro the lighthouse. To account for the stranding of the m ship under these circumstances the most probable supposition is, that, intending to run back abreast of the light, and then come about and make for Dover, the master was not sufficiently particular in watching the exact bearing, s o as to know precisely his offing, meaning only to us e the light as a point of departure. Instead of being, as he believed, two or three miles off, when abreast of the light, he must then have been dangerously near the shore, and being obliged to port his helm to keep clear of the two ships coming up Channel, and hav ing his attention entirely occupied with that object, he did not observe how far aft he had brought the li g ht. The prudent course, therefore, would have been either to have come about before he got abreast of the light, or to have allowed more searoom to meet the contingency which occurred, viz:, having to port his helm when abreast of the light. Giving due weight to this explanation of the error, and taking into consideration the master's high character for general carefulness and ability, it was not deemed necessary to visit the case with severity, and, under the advice of the Nautical Assessors, Captain Bowen was strictly admonished of his error, and his certificate was returned to him.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (Aeernoon). General Schofield has superseded Cimeral Fostcr at Knoxville. A resolution has been introducel in the Mary land Legislature endorsing President Lincoln's policy, amnesty, and proclamation.., and favouring his re-election to the Preeidency. '.l_ l lle. Californian Senate has passed a resolution rerotoiriating Mr. L 7 ncoln for the Presidency. The Raleigh (North Carolina) pness contint - os violently to denounce the measures of the Curfe• deratr Government mlla the univrsal .cons!2riptiou proposed by the Congress. It declares the, t,h;) people will take their affairs info their own hAnds and vindicate in a convention their libutico e.Lj privileges. The blockade runner Isabel has artivtd ct Havana, from Mobile, with 480 bales of cotter. The Confederate steamer Grey Jacket has been captured off Mobile with 500 bales of cotton. Further diplomatic correspondence has been laid before Congress. In April last, Mr. Seward requested Mr. Adnms to inform Earl Russell that the negotiation of a Confederate loan brings to an end all concessions made by the Federal Government for mitigating the rigour of the blockade in regard to the shipping of cotton or tobacco, nor will the Federal Govern ment respect the title of any person, whether a citizen of the United States or a subject of a foreign Power, to cotton or merchandise, when such title is derived through insurgent authority, or agents hostile, to the United States, Such pro. , oeedinga as a negotiation of this loan have come to be regarded by the people and the Governet in America as tending to complicate the relatit,oo both countries in such a manner as to render it difficult, if not impossible, to maintain and pre:.er7L friendship between both countries. In July Mr. Seward, referring to the Alexandra decision, writes Mr. Adams that if British law nieFt be left without amendment and be construed by the Government in accordance with the rulings of the Chief Baron, there will be left for the United States no alternative but to protect themselves and commerce against armed cruisers proceeding front British ports as against the naval *officers of the public enemy. They will also claim and insist upon indemnities for injuries committed by such expedi tions. If the Federal naval force is not sufficient for the emergency, the United States must employ a private armed force afforded by the mercantile marine. As these piratical vessels are received in British ports to obtain supplies and land prisoners, can it be an occasion for surprise or complaint that, if this condition of things receives the deliberate sanction of the British Government, the Federal navy will receive instructions to pursue these ene mies into the ports which thus, in violation of the law of nations and the obligations of neutrality, be come harbours for pirates. The President perceives the risk such a naval conflict will brinT to commerce and even the peace of both countries, but he is obliged to consider that in the case supposed the destruction of American commerce will probably amount to a naval war waged by a portion of the British nation against the Government and people of America—a war tolerated, though not declared or avowed, by the British Government. If, through the employ ment of such means of national defence, such partial war shall become a general ono between both nations, the President thinks the responsi bility of that result will not fall on the United • States. It is not the President's purpose to resort to the measures of defence referred to unless they shall be rendered necessary by the final deci sion of the British Government, that it cannot and will not interfere to restrain the hostilities now up. prehended. This is not written in a spirit of de monstration, as it is well understood that the British Government is the last in the world to yield to vehemence that which cannot be conceded in equity or justice ; so, on the other hand, it shonld be understood that the United States, if they conkd ever be presumptuous, are sufficiently chastened by civil war to seek peace and friendship with all nations through any concession compatible with the interests of the national life and honour. In April last Earl Russell requests Mr. Adams not to repeat complaints about British subjects entering the Con federate service, unless he can prove that all British subjects in the Federal service have been dis charged, and orders given not to enlist more. In September Earl Russell, in a letter to Mr. Adams, disclaims all responsibility of the British Government in regard to the proceedings of the Alabama or any other Confederate cruiser, at:;l trusts that Mr. Adams will not again be instructLA to put forward claims which the British Govern ment cannot admit to be founded on grounds of law or justice. NEW YORK, Jan. 22 :(Evening).
